How do sailing ships provide evidence that the Earth is round?
Five ships commanded by Ferdinand Magellan left Spain and sailed southeast. They discovered a passage through the islands at the southern tip of South America, which is now called the Straits of Magellan. One ship was destroyed, and one returned to Spain. The remaining three ships then sailed northwest across the Pacific Ocean, and kept sailing west. They sailed past many islands, always going mostly West. Magellan himself was killed in what were later named the Philippine Islands in the Battle of Mactan. The survivors continued west across the Indian Ocean and around the Cape of Good Hope, and back to Spain. One ship out of five reached Spain, taking 3 years to complete the voyage.
